i’ve beeen going on a fair bit recently about vlogging, you might reasonably ask why? There is a youtuber, Rob the Maritimer, click his name to see his channel. Rob has set up a community, called Creators Cove, and issued a challenge to his 117,000 followers. Over a period of four weeks, issue three “longContinue reading “2072 – Put yourself out there”

2068 – Just one of those walks
I had just dropped Elayne off at the shops, and was on my way home, when I had this thought that things just looked really nice and I very much wanted to go for a walk. Not a particularly special walk, just my normal route past the Cockle Ponds, along the waterfront and back alongContinue reading “2068 – Just one of those walks”
2058 – In the shop
I volunteer, normally on a Friday afternoon, in a local charity shop. I got asked if I would do today, Saturday, as well. I said yes to help out (I don’t know how to say that without making me sound noble for doing that), but it’s not. I made it quite clear that my offeringContinue reading “2058 – In the shop”
2048 No Observations
Yesterday, I wrote a post about observations: https://localitystories.com/2026/07/07/2047-observations/As you can imagine, today, I was really looking out for observations that I could record. You know what’s coming next, don’t you? I did get out today. I met up with some friends from the Camera Club at the Vine, which is about half a mile fromContinue reading “2048 No Observations”
2040 – Facebook’s Baleful Glare
We had a bit of excitement today. A colony of bees decided it would quite like to live in our silver birch tree. More on that story in the next Letter to Steve. Every so often, I get big pangs of guilt about Facebook. Mainly, that I haven’t been posting there. The rot set inContinue reading “2040 – Facebook’s Baleful Glare”
2024 – Letter to Steve XVII
Dear Steve, The Focus of Gilbert’s letter this week are fish and reptiles. I’m really not in a position to write in detail on either of these, so I take it as an opportunity for some poetic license, jumping around the topic space. We have lived here for a little under twelve years. When weContinue reading “2024 – Letter to Steve XVII”
1982 – A Trip Out
For several weeks now, I’ve had a thought in my head, that lead to today. I went to London, for a very specific purpose. My first port of call was the British Museum. I’ve walked past this grand establishment before, but I have never been in. It almost didn’t happen. It’s best to book aContinue reading “1982 – A Trip Out”
1979 – The Great Western Railway (GWR) Museum Swindon
Today, I was on the monthly Shed Trip. The April trip was to the GWR Museum in Swindon. Unlike last month, the coach driver took us to the motorway via junction 9. It was a much quicker exit from Gosport. The trip to Swindon took about an hour and a half. I was a bitContinue reading “1979 – The Great Western Railway (GWR) Museum Swindon”
1973 The Lyrids
The Gosport u3a. group on stargazing meets once a month in The Vine, a local pub that has been converted into a cafe. There’s usually 5 or 6 of us. It’s a casual get together, and a good opportunity for like minded people to have a good chat. Whilst it won’t always work, I tryContinue reading “1973 The Lyrids”
1949 – Letter to Steve VI
Letter VI Gilbert’s Letter VI talks of a fairly extensive forest adjacent to Selborne. The Forest of Wolmer. Now, I am not aware of a forest of equivalent size near Gosport (the New Forest is too far away), but what we do have is the Alver Valley. This is a lovely nature reserve with aContinue reading “1949 – Letter to Steve VI”
